Cornbread

Ingredients

  • 150g all-purpose flour
  • 117g yellow cornmeal
  • 49.5g granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1 1/4 cups whole milk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg (beaten)

Directions

  1. Combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl
  2. In a measuring cup, measure out milk, vegetable oil, and beat in 1 egg
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, mixing until combined, don’t overmix
  4. Spray an 8x8 or 9x9 inch cake pan with non-stick cooking spray
  5. Pour in batter and bake for 25-30 min at 400ºF

Notes

  • Goes hard with chili or baked beans + weens
  • I add more sugar for sweet cornbread, add shredded cheese, green onion, and minced garlic for a savory bread
  • Moist and buttery without soaking cornmeal! I overbaked it once and it was very dry though
  • I rarely buy milk, so a lot of the time I mix 1/2 cup half n half with 3/4 cups of water to make “whole milk” and it turns out okay
